My Top 17 Beauty Products of 2017!

Would you believe it is 2018! It snuck up on me and took me by surprise and here we are.

I have put together a video with my 17 top picks from last year. It was really hard to narrow it down, because there were so many good releases last year. However, I picked the ones that I used loads of times – either new or old. I will add some special mentions at the end of my post.

I hope you enjoy watching it. If I look a little shiny and dishevelled, it’s because it was 42C and sweltering!

Anyway, I tried to keep it under 17 minutes and I succeeded. It is around 15 minutes long, so grab a cuppa, or a wine and relax. There are links and description below the video. If you like my videos, please hop on over to YouTube and subscribe. You will get notified when there is a new one up! (click on the little cog on the bottom to go to “quality” and click on the HD version to watch it in the clearest form possible x)

A special mention of the following products that I wanted to add to my list as well:

Maybelline Age Rewind in Medium. I am probably up to my 8th one!

Roots Double Effect Hair Growth Spray. I really wanted to add this because I feel it does work to make my hair a little stronger and thicker.

Benefit They’re Real Push Up liner. My all time favourite gel liner that doesn’t move. It is a little drier in texture, so there is no risk of bleeding as happens when you have a few lines.

The Becca Backlight Primer. I originally had it on that list, but had nothing to show you because I finished the last drop. Beautiful primer especially when you like full cover foundation. Gives it less of a mask like appearance. I also used it on holidays with just a drop of foundation mixed in by itself. Glow glow glow!

Release of the year: Model’s Own Cosmetics! Affordable, great quality and a huge range of products.

Any of the Hourglass products. So luxe and so beautiful! Great highlighters and products.

Products with an asterisk* are gifts. Products with a ^ are affiliates (when you click on them I might make a few cents, does not cost you anything). This however, does not affect my reviews and opinions. They are 100% honest and all mine.

Are there any products here you have tried and agree with me on? Or do you have a different opinion? Would love to know!

2 weeks agoby fashionista_in_suburbiaHappy International Women’s Day! The day we celebrate our achievements and fight for what is right. For me, being a WOMAN is confidence. Confidence in my abilities, my achievements and what I have to offer. I work in the male oriented Construction Industry and it makes my heart sing to see women in construction doing well for themselves. Yes. We have a long way to go but I know we will get there. And because this is a fashion and beauty blog I thought showcasing this perfume is apt. WOMAN by RALPH LAUREN * is the latest in the stable…

2 weeks agoby fashionista_in_suburbiaI have been playing with the new Lancôme Custom Glow Drops. I have used three different shades here: Golden Glow - I put a drop into my Teint Idole Ultra Foundation for some beautiful dewi- ness. Bronze Glow - I dabbed that on my eyelids for that glowing wet look and dabbed it with a beauty blender on my cheeks and on my lips! Champagne Glow - a beautiful highlighted tapped on my cheekbones, on my brow bone and on my Cupid’s bow. Also wearing Lancôme blush Subtil in Rose Lemonade on the apples of my cheek. I like this…

2 weeks agoby fashionista_in_suburbiaI had a lovely visit to the MAC Store at @westfieldmiranda where, to my surprise they stocked the @patrickstarrr Collection!!! (I thought it was only an online purchase!) How could I resist?? (And I didn’t resist, haha!) Stay tune for my Patrick Starr Make Up look! BTW I am so cut I am away interstate for Westfield Miranda Fashion Weekend on the 10th and 11th of March. I would have loved to have browsed all the new Winter trends, the special offers and events!

3 weeks agoby fashionista_in_suburbiaAbout last night: I wore a new bottle green body con wrap dress from @countryroad to a work event last night. I have seen this dress online but it didn’t appeal to me whatsoever. You need CURVES for this dress. You need boobs, a butt and womanly hips. Only when I tried it on, that I knew it was for me. Compare it to the very slender girl that @countryroad In all their wisdom employed to wear the dress for their campaign. Like a sack, CR, like a potato sack. What do you think? (How is this colour???) . .…

4 weeks agoby fashionista_in_suburbiaIntroducing: The NEW YSL Tatouage Couture Matte Stain. So lightweight. So pigmented. So long lasting. I’m in ♥️LUV♥️ From left to right: 8. Black Red Code* 1. Rouge Tatouage* 3. Rose Ink* 11. Rose Illicite* *gifted The applicator is quite different, on an angle and flat for very precise application. The formula is very nice and not too drying. Quite fragrances but I don’t mind that at all. And the packaging. Well. It’s YSL. No other words needed. I have seen these on overseas sites before and I have been waiting for them to hit our shores. And they are…
